City To Issue Trash Containers

January 17, 1991

EVANSTON — The Evanston City Council has voted to spend nearly $850,000 for 16,000 plastic roll-out garbage containers that the city will distribute to households when it reduces trash collection to once a week beginning March 4. Residents will receive the carts from March through May, according to the plan approved Monday night. The city can now begin purchasing the 65- and 90- gallon containers on wheels and installing hydraulic lift attachments on 25 garbage trucks at a total cost of $80,000.
